The annual demand for the sil- ver dollar is about to recommence, to be fol- lowed inevitably by a backward flow of the coin into the ‘Treasury vaults. The, Treas- ury Department has not furnished the full amount of silver bullion required by the law for coining into silver dollars for several weeks past. ‘The cause of this ‘is the high prices which have been placed upon bullion ees rendering its purchase impractic- able. A NOTED DESPERADO AND MAIT-ROBBEIL Wasuixcrox, D. C., July 30:—A. notorious highway robber named iam White was 2 year or two ago tried and convicted of rob- bing the mails in Texas. He was a noted and desperate highwayman. Ile had robbed stage-coaches and individuals, and had com- mitted several murders. Upon convic- tion in Texas he was sentenced to impris- onment in the West Virginia’ Penitentiary for life. Upon the recommendation of Con- eressman Jones, of Texas, President Hayes pardoned White. The postal authorities knew nothing about the pardon until White was released. Ife immediately resumed his carcer of highwayman, and has now been arrested in Colorado, where he will be tried. Iie was arrested under the name of Benton. He has numerous aliases, and has robbed mails in Arkansas, Texas, New Mesico, and Colorado. Warrants have been procured in Arkansas and Texas, and White will be tried for crimes committed in those States as well as in Colorado. The Chief Inspector of the Post-Oftice Department has several masks worn by White in his different robberies. Ueisone of the most desperate of porder highwaymen. + ‘THE NATIONAL BAN Wasutnaton, D. C., July 30.—The recent discovery by the Commissioner of Interna! Revenue that one or two of the banks of Chica- go had been remiss in their payment of taxes to the Government has caused Gen. Raum to institute an examination of all the banks in cities where there are Clearing-ILouses, to as- certain if and to what extent the law in re- gard to National-bank ‘taxation nas been evaded. Ile has sent special agents for this purpose to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. It'will take some time for these agents to make the examination and Teport consequent upon them. The Commis- sioner that he is determined to see that wk pays to the Government the tax which is levied upon it by the Internal-Rey- enue laws. After the banks in the cities just named are examined, he will send agents to investigate the banks of Cincinnati and St. OUR ALLEGED NAVY. Following the recent appointment of a Commission to inquire into and Teport upon the best plan for building up the navy, Secre- tary Hunt has conetuded to organize a sub- Commission in each of the navy-yards in the country. These Commissions will be in- structed to ascertain the amount of old worn- out material accumulated during and since the War, and which is of no use to the serv- ice. He takes thi: ion with a view to ask- ing authority from Congress for the sale of such old material. Secretary Hunt proposes, so far as he is able, to inaugurate a thor- ough system of renovation in the navy. He has also determined to replace a nuniber of his bureau officers by the substitution of younger wen. His first point will, however, be to clear out the rubbish of worthless ma- terial at present stored.in the shops of the different nayy-yards. DRUM’s HoRBy. Gen. Drum, Adjutant-General of the Army, has, ever since his succession to Gen. ‘Townsend, been anxious to secure the estab- lishment of a School of Infantry and Ca for officers of the army at some place in the West, ie isa great admirer and believer in the Artillery School which has been_in vorue at Fort Monrou for many years. The school, he thought, should be founded upon thesume general plan that the School for Artillery exists at Fort Monroe. He has sue- -ceeded in this, and the school will be estab- lished. ‘The Secretary of War to-day di- tected Capt. Marshall, Assistant-Quarter- master, to proceed tu Leavenworth to super- intend the construction of the proper build ings for the use of such school. ‘The difli- culty heretofore has existed that the Western cavalry, and infantry regiments were so scattered and spread that a school of that character alsout to be established was almost enurely superfluous. The Indian question having about solved itself, the regiments will now remain more stationary, and the pr: ticability of the school, Gen. Drum thinks, Wiil he fully established in the course of a year’s experience. THE EXPENSIVE SIOUX. One of the first things that Congress will be called upon to do at the next session is to vote a deficiency for the support of the Sioux Indians who have recently surrendered in the Northwest. The regular Army Appro- priation bill provides only for the mainte- nance of 500 Indian prisoners. The numberof Sioux who have surrendered _is about 3.000; mnost_ of these are now at Fort Yates, and only about 300 at any other point, except those at Fort Keozh. The Government is compelled to support these prisoners, and, there not being sufficient ney under the proper appropriation, a deiic’ will have to be involved. How much it will amount to e now estimated. Congress will eto decide what shall be done with the surrendered Indians. They will be kept at Foris Keogh and Yates until the matier has been settled by Congressional action. Gen. Drum said to-day that it would be recommended to Gongress that they be distributed over the different Indian reserya- tions, and as many as possible be put where there was goo opportunity for compelling them to work and earn their own living by civilized means, He said that the question as to what should be done with Sitting-Bull had not yet been determined, nor had itbeen fully considered. When. Gen. Sherman 1 turns from the Northwest it will be proba! taken up, but Gen. Drum thinks that this celebrated Indian Chief will be treated just the same as any other prisoner who has come back from over the border and surrendered himself to the United States authorities. ALLEGED MALFEASANCE, C. &. Beattie, the attorney, swore out a warrant betore Justice Meech yesterday charging Constable Fred O. Carter with mal- feasance in office. Fred gave bond to appear for examination next Tuesday. afternoon. Here is the way the case came about: Goud- win & Co., property brokers, brought an’ at- tachinent suit before Justice Scully against Mr. A. Parkins to recover 2 claim’ for $30. Goodwin had sold some property for Parkin: the firm wanted the $50 as commission. ' They also claimed to have expended 310 in. advertising the sale of the property, but did not include this amount in the bill for $30. The attachment suit Was quashed, but the Court gave the plaintiffs an_ ordinary judgement tor $10 for 1 advertisements. This $10 Parki offered-to pay, and then he asked fur the S: and the ring. Carter refused to make the feturn, saying the attachment. suit was to be appealed. Then the other side offered to give aforthcoming bond to secure the Con- stable, but he still’ refused.

Freight-Agents at New York Get- ting Whatever They Can from Shippers. No Change Whatever in the West- ward-Bound Passenger War. THE War. Spectal Dispatch to Ths Chicago Tribune. New York, July 80.—The guerilla war- fare begun in western-bound freight rates at this point reeently was still continued to- ¥. While Pool-Commissioner Albert Fink said that everybody knew that the great trunk line agents are as busy a3 they can be cutting freight rates, the agents themselves, in a lamblike manner, siid they knew nothing whatever concerning the natter. Yet they admitted that Commission- er Fink was good authority upon such sub- jects. he Commissioner said there. was nothing new about freight-rate eutting, ‘That it was being done was as evident as the fact that the stars shine in the heavens. There was no telling when the underhand, or guerilla, warfare would end. ‘The Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, which had made the open cut in Boston, was one of the parties to the New England pool on West-bound freichts formed in 1877, and he had reason to believe that that Company had always acted honestly and kept faith with the other companies in the pool. The cutting of freight rates by the Vermont Cen- tral, one of the Grand Trunk Railway con- nections, followed . by the slanghter of rates by the Boston & Albany and the Fitehburg Railroads, had drawn the New Yorks Céntral and the New York, Lake Erie & Western Companies into the wrangle, ina measure at least. The cutting, it is said, has been going on forover amonth. It is -generally belleved that, the schedule of west-bound rates has not been observed since the recent meeting of the Eastern freight agents in this city, when it was agreed to maintain rates. It is known, notwithstanding the statements of the freight agents to the contrary, that a great deal of first-class Yreight is being taken at from 50 to 40 cents per 100 pounds from New York to Chicago, the tariff rate being 75 cents. Shippers Know this tu be so, and the freight agents in this city nave orders to do business with therm at the best rates they can get, and to avoid . talking to reporters ’ about it. Consequently the azents at the offices of all the trunk lines to the west would not admit to-«lay that the west-bound freight rates are being cut. Commissioner Fink seems powerless in the matter. He is desir- ous of stopping the guerrilas, but finds it no easy task. ‘The western-bound passenger-rates war- tiors were calmly sitting in their tents to- day, waiting for somebody to open fire upon their camps. ‘The New York Central & Itud- son River Railroad Company, following the lead of the Pennsylvania people, have adopted rebate tickets to —compet- ing points in the West, and are hoping that all the other roads will adopt them al: thinking that they can crush the indefatig: ble and tireless brokers who are pro! ing by the “present war. The —rail- road ticket agents’ rates to the West to-day were the same. as on Friday,—S? to Chicago, 37 to Cincinnati, and 312.75 to St. Louis, Mr. James S$. Buekley, Pas- Senger Agent of the New York, Lake Erie & Western Road, at No. 401 Broanway, said that the business of the Erie Road to-day was simply enormous. i Perhaps never before in the. history of the road had so many tickets been soldin one day. Tis assistants were kept constantly busy all day, This road does not use rebate tickets. Mr. G.G. Lansing, the icket broker of 397 Broadway, said that his business was never so great. His offices were thronged all day. He was asking $7 for tickets to Chicazo, $7 to Cincinnati, and Silto St. Louis, the latter rate being $1.75 less than the rates charged by the Passenger Agents of the four trunk lines, Mr. Lan- sing added that it by no means followed be- cause the roads .used rebate tickets that the brokers would be compelled to put up their shutters. EAST-BOUND FREIGHT BUSINESS. There was a slight increase in east-bound freight shipment, the most of which, how- ever, was taken by the Grand Trunk Rail- way. This has given riseto rumors that this road is cutting rates again, and some claim that it has made contracts as low as 121¢ cents, The officials of the road, however, deny that they nave contracted for any busi- ness at less than the l5-cent rate. No charges are being made that any of the other roads have gone below 15 cents, and they say they can get all the business they want at that rate, and have, therefore, no cause to zo below it. The Baltimore & Ohio is the only line which docs a small business from this city, but the officials say they do not want much at the present figures. Even if the Grand Trunk should make con- tracts at’ 1234 cents the other roads would hardly fallow suit, The capacity of the road is not very large, and even if it does run ahead, it would do no harm, as it is now about 200,000 tons behind its regular pool percentage. It is not believed that east- bound rates will go below the 15-cent basis, althongh one or the other roads may occa- sionally make a cut. The fight will no doubt be now continued on the west-bound busi- ness. The cut made by the Vermont Central and Grand Trunk from Boston is being metby the other lihes, and although it is denied that the rates from New York have been cut in the same measure, yet itis positively known that shipments have been made from New York west at about one-half the regular rates. Itiseven asserted that some of the lines are making heavy. tinue contracts .at such rates, . The totat shipments of grain, flour, and provisions for the week ending July 30 by roads Jeading east from .this city amounted to 50,626 tons, against 44,971 tons for the week previous, an increase of 5,655 tons. - * ‘The following table shows the amount of flour, grain, and provisions carried by each of the six lines leading east from this city during the past week: |Grain,|Prov’s, Flnur,|tons of tons of| Total dle "| 2,900" | 2.00) | tons, fi \ & W361} 9.101 ites] Tas eR Michigan Central, Luke Shore...

KING COLE, Svecial Dispatch to The Chiceso Tribune ATLANTA, Ga., July 30.—There is a strong belief here that Cole’s object in getting a charter to Rome is for the purpose of cre- ating an inipression that he is going to build to that point, and that, after getting the char- ter, he and his friends will then begin aavo- cating the sale of the Western & Atlantic, which property belongs to the State, with a view of having the Legislature pass a reso- lution authorizing the saleof the property, in’ which eyent. Cole will buy the line. and then not build the -line. to Rome, but will hoid the charter, soas to Keep competing lines out of theSiate. Piesideut Brawn, of the Western & Auuntic, is a strong advocate ot-franting acharter to Cole, and itis said that he ‘ywill be in with Cole if the State’s property is sold and Cole purchases it. ‘Coles will do evi thing to get possession of the Western « Aulantic, and also to bottle up the route to Rouie so as to hedge the Louisville & Nash- ville, he never haying forgotten the manner ‘hich he was bouuced by that corporation a few years siuce, and it ‘is believed that Brown has some _ hard - feeling against the Louisville & Nashville for at tempting to displice him from the Pres: ney of the Western & Atlantic soon after Newcomb gobbled a controlling interest in the State’s property. Some “of Brown’s strongest friends inthe Legislature are al- ready talking about favormg ea sale of West- ern & Atlantic, so eager are they to eet through with the work that is cut out for elief that there js a “eat in the tmeal-tub” iz causing membets to act cautiously, and the Cole charter will be de- feated if something .is nat done to dispel a belicf that Brown and Cole are not, after zet- ting possession of Western & Atlantic and using the application for a charter to Rome, to draw off fire until the trap is sprung and the bird caught. BROKEN PROMISES. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. f Cuicaco, July 30.—Lhe Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific Railway has posted notices in its Englewood depot to the effect that on and after. Aug. 1, in accordance with an agree- ment with the Western Indiana Railroad Company, its trains will not carry suburban passengers, and the tickets issued by .the Chicago & Eastern Tilincis Railroad Com- pany will not be good on its trains. Thus do the promises: and agreements of corporations = fate = into —s thin air. ‘The Western Indiana Railroad Company was granted the free right of way through the Town of Lake on one of its. handsomest north and south streets, with the understand- ing that all trains should stop at Sixty-third streetand other convenient points through the town, and the fare was to be only tive cents to all points north of Sixty-third street. Peo- ple’ who were opposed _to giving up this Street said the Railroad Company Would find some way to creep out of the agreement, which seems to be the case. ‘Those who lave patronized this road are very indignant that their accommodations aro to be cut off. GROWLER. IKANSAS CITY. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tritunt. Kansas City, Mo.. July 50.—The great passenger-rate war from the East to Chicago has at last reached Kansas City, and orders were received to-day from the General Pas- sepger Agents to begin selling tickets on Monday to Eastern points on a basis of the local rate from Kansas City to Chicago added to the advertised rato from the last-named point. Representatives of the Chicago & Alton, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, Hannibal & St. Joseph, Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific, and Missouri Pacific Companies had_a meeting here this atternoon to talk over the matter, but no conclusion was arrived at, and, unless con- trary orders are received, the cut-rate tickets go on sale Monday. E IN DEMAND. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Beprorp, Ind., July 30.—It is reported here to-day that Mr. Lyons, a Chicago capi- talist, has offered $300,000 for that portion of the Narrow-Gauge Road leading from here to Effingham, Ill, between Switz City. Ind., and Eflingham, Ul. An agent of y Gould is also trying to effect a purchase. ‘The In- dianapolis Rolling-Mill Company is also re- ported as desirous of getting possession, so that they can make a continuous line of theirown from here, as they own that por- tion. of the line known as the Bedtord & Bloomfield, which connects with the proper- ty mentioned at Switz City. CAIANGE OF GAUGE. Mespmis, Tenn., July 30.—The gauge of the Mississippi & Tennessee Railroad, run- ning from Memphis, Tenn., to Grenada, Miss,, 100 miles, -was changed to-lay from five feet to four féét eight and one-half inches. ‘The work was successfully done in ten hours, with no interruption to south-bound trains and traflic of the road. FREIGHT CONTRACTS. " Bostoy, Mass., July 30.—The Grand Trunk is making time contracts on west-bound freights at low rates, extending into the win- ter months, ITEMS. The Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad has issued the following circular: ‘All freight destined to points on the Mineral Point Div isisu of this railway must be delivered here- after at our regular freight houses, between dJetferson and Union streets, West Side, in order to secure benefit of through rates} and prompt delivery.” 5 Mr. George F. Wilson, who has for the past seven years held the position of General Fore- man of the Baltimore & Ohio Railway shops at South Chicago, left yesterday for Gar- rett, Ind., to fill tie position of master- Mechanic over the Chicago Division. Before his departure the employés presented him with an elegant gold watch and chain. Charles Macabe, who wasat one time chief nt in the passenger departnient of the Chicago & Alton, and has since successively occupied the positions of General Ticket Agent of the International & Great Northern, chief assistant tu the ‘Treasurerand Auditor of. the Wisconsin Central, and who is now General ‘Ticket Agent of the Peoria, Pekin & Jacksonville Railroad, has accepted the position of Pacific Coast Agentof the Chicazo & Alton Railroad, with headquarters at San Francisco. His appointment takes effect Aug, 1. Mr. Macabe’s long experience, ex- tensive acquaintance, and unlimited knowl- edge of the passenger business, and general cleverness of manner, particularly - adapt him for the important position which he is to take. The Chicago & Northwestern Railway Rives notice to the public that on Monday, slug. 1, a braneh of the Dakota Central Rail- way, extending north from Huron to Red- field. a distance of forty miles, will be opened for business. The rates at present apply between Chicago, Milwaukee, Racine, cme Junction, Kenosha, and Muron, will also apply between those points and the stations on the new branch. The names of new sta- tions are as follows: Broadland, Clarksville, Minden, and- Redtiel Freight for Broad- land and Minden must be prepaid. It is un- derstood that the line from Kedfield north, pointing in the direction of Jamestown on the Northern Pacifie Road, will be opened in the very near future as far as‘ Ordway, some fitty miles further north of Redfield. We have no doubt that the Chicago & North- western Railway Company's object in press- ing this line to an early completion is to en- able it to move the crops raised this year in the recently settled James River Valley, $$$ A PROMPT PAYMENT, A peculiarly gratifying instance of the waiving of all possible technicalities by a life-insurance company in the payment of a Joss came to light recently and started an in- vestigation by a ‘Brune reporter yesterday. Dr. «A. C, Bull, the ill-fated companion of the late S. N. Wilcox, was insured in the Berk- shire Life, of Pittsfield, Mass., tor 38,000. While his body has never been recovered, the presumptive evidence ‘all goes to show that he was drowned in Lake Superior. Within five days after the brooks of loss, the Company forwarded Mrs. Bell, who related the facts to ‘Tue ‘TrruNe reporter, a cheek for $5,021.46—the face of the polivy and the Jast dividend thereon. It goes without say- ing that Mrs. Bell was more than pleased with the Company’s prompt action. .° $a SAFE-BLOWERS AT WORK. The safe-blowers have not been very in- dustrions during the past two weeks, but they made up for lost time Friday night by blowing opeu the vault in Gardner & Spry’s lumber oltice, thereby securing nbout $300 cash. The office is a small ‘structure on Ashland ‘avenue about 200 yards south of ‘Twenty-second street, and in the shadow of the West-Side Water-Works. Entrance was effected by cutting out a panel in a rear door. ‘They then drilled three holes about the lock i: the vault ‘door, filled in some powder, and blew the lock off the inside of the door, ‘The burglary was not discovered until § o’clock in the morning, when the office was opened for. business.” ‘The money they found in enyelopes in a box, just in- side the vault. They ransacked-.the safe, which was open, and went over everything in the office, but took nothing save cash. THE CORNER AT ST.
